Keyboard cover case - compatible theme or change icons - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi everyone, I'm a hardware keyboard diehard fan. I bought an s7 flat and the keyboard case. It's a bit chunky and a waste of screen but it does what it says on the box.
The problem i have is that i truly positively hate touchwiz
I applied the material design theme but it didn't let me use the keyboard - as soon as i put it on, it tells me it has to revert to the standard theme.
Any ideas if other themes support this? I guess not... Can i keep the standard theme and at least change the icons?
Thanks!

SKINS!!

Does anybody know how to change the bars on the top and bottom of the screen to different colors and possibly give them the "3d" effect they have on the xperia silver theme. I want to make them have that 3d glossy effect but be black. I downloaded a simple skin that's supposed to make them black and glossy on any wm6.1 device but instead they went gray just like the xperia silver theme.
any suggestions?
thanks
go to "development and hacking" section and ask there... this is not xperia related and you can have more help
anyway, what you call "skin" is a common theme for windows mobile, use google (or search function) and you will find tons of theme maker
Forget it! I was searching now for about one year for a glossy black theme. Not a hope. This must be a restriction of WM6.x

Icon Spacing in 2.2!

Is it just me or 2.2 icon spacing is terrible? Just updated to 2.2 from 1.6 and now I am faced with a row of empty coloum that I can not fit any more icons into.
Not sure what to do? please help?
It is like no matter what I do in dragging the icons across the screen to fill this gap, upon releasing my finger it goes back down in to the vertical coloum of icons.
What I should expect it to do like in 1.6 is to just start filling that big empty huge gap that can easily fit a standard application icons.
BUT NOT THE CASE OF 2.2? what all the hype is this about?
if you want more icons on your screen, you need to use an alternative launcher like launcherpro. i actually jumped ship today and installed it. i found the stage widgets to be a bit of a let down so i was ok with loosing them, and i was worried i wouldnt like launcherpro because i had it before on an old phone and didnt like it, and i didnt like it on my streak till i found the setting that says "auto-fit items: resizes widgets and icons to fit the grid size". its nice, i like it.

It had to be that way to fit in both landscape and portrate, even if you use another launcher and use more icons for portrate eg: 7 rows x 6 columns when to turn to landscape the 7 rows are all to squashed.
It's the same with wallpapers, what fits in portrate doesn't fit in landscape.
It's what you get with a widscreen smartphone.

[Q] Expresso bar ?

Hi I'm looking for an expresso bar mod for my desire, and so far have not been able to find one, wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of one, if one exists that is, and yes I have used the search feature extensively.
The problem is I'm looking for one that just changes the bar on the home screens and a matching straight lockscreen bar, not too bothered either way about the notification screen, but don't want to change any icons on the notification bar as I have already used the circle battery mod, and would like it to stay the way it is, also needs to be for a 2.09 rom base, and no colour mods, I wan't the button press colour to stay at the standard green, not bothered wether it's skinned in the black or carbon either.
Would be very grateful for this indeed, been looking for one for months on and off now.
search for 'BrightSilence Espresso' and you'll find one of the best ones (IMO) or failing that you could use HElauncher from the market as there is a Slate theme, which is basically Espresso but no Sense Widgets...so it depends what you wanna do really
Hope i helped somewhat

Ugly Green Call Screen

Forgive me if this has already been asked.
Is there a way to change the green in-call background color to another color?
The stock green isn't appealing. All I really want is black.
I ended up using Google dialler. The green is horrible
How to disable stock green dialer and use Google instead?
I have tried everything in the user interface. Does not seem to work. I choose different themes - the platinum and the black one, but then these have wrapped icons which are horrible as well. Any solution welcome.

you can find a good amount of themes on the Play Store by searching LG G6 theme, many of them have different dialer colors.

I use the black theme. I didn't like the borders around the icons either. I read that is an option in the display settings but I don't have it on mine -- maybe it is dependent on the theme. At any rate I installed Nova so I can be rid of those icon borders.
So if your main objection to the other themes is the icon borders, try an alternative launcher.
